Investigator: prof. RNDr. Petr Koubek, CSc.
Number of Project: GA524/09/1569
Agency: Czech Science Foundation
Duration: 01. 01. 2009 - 31. 12. 2012

The aim of the project was to analyse the genetic structure of sika deer in the Czech Republic, to determine the origin of introduced individuals and their affiliation with one of the recognized subspecies, and to assess the level of hybridization with European red deer in both, free living and captive populations.
